REVIEW INTRODUCTION

With the onset of the new "quiet" trend in cooling, people are just plain sick of dealing with a screaming heatink/fan combination to properly cool there processors. People would rather sacrifice some cooling today just to have a peaceful workstation. Due to this consumer trend, companies themselves are dropping the "strap a screaming delta onto a finned block of copper" mentality and are running to the designing boards again to try to find another method of effective cooling. The two companies featured today are using the twin, horizontally mounted fan method to cool a central core. Using two quieter fans decreases the sound output without the loss of airflow and cools effectively to a certain extent. I will warn you, these coolers are NOT meant for overclocking your Athlon an extra 500Mhz, but are meant for some moderate overclocking applications and for better cooling at stock speeds.
